Overview
Note: This program is for current Caltech undergraduate and graduate students only.
UPDATE: The Japan Internship Program has been cancelled for Summer 2021.
The Japan Internship Program (JIP) pairs Caltech student-scholars
with Japanese company researchers to collaborate on industrial projects.
Over the course of their summer break, participating students have the
opportunity to experience Japanese culture in a business environment as
well as in day-to-day life. Each year, an information seminar is held in
October. It provides interested students a better understanding of the
program, a review of the application process, and first-hand experiences
from the previous summer's interns. Read more about the JIP in the brochure.
The information seminar for the (canceled) summer 2020 session was held on Friday, October 11, 2019. Click here to view the flyer.
